Anyone think Don Powell (Slade) looked and drummed a bit like Terry Chambers?

Dunno (the only thing I know about Slade is that Quiet Riot would never have been known without their covers of Slade tunes. I do think that Don Avan (Back Porch Jamboree) looks like an astronaut right before his oxygen is depleted.

That's the look I was going for. Watched some Slade stuff last night. Didn't realise they carried on as long as they did. And one of their later hits was completely ripped off by a more recent band. If I can remember it I'll post the name of the song and band.

A bit late to the party… but here’s what I think…
I think Terry was more technical than Don, if you listen to most of Powell’s playing, it’s very “meat & potatoes”. Terry had a regimented style… rock solid meter, but listen to Cuba as an example. Those hi-hat figures. But, he’s also very right handed. Watch him play Senses.
Now, I could analyse every drummer to grace the drum stool for XTC, if you want?

please do. I mean, I won't understand your analysis, but don't let that stop you. My drumming knowledge is limited to messing around on my brother's snare drum when he was in the school band 35 years ago, something that really irritated him. He didn't seem to practice all that often, so maybe my rudimentary playing reminded him of his lack of initiative, or something.
